A 68-year-old woman has died of injuries she sustained when two trains collided head-on in Amsterdam, injuring scores of passengers.

She died today, a day after the crash. Mayor Eberhard van der Laan said 16 other people seriously injured in the crash remain in hospital.

A top rail official has described the collision as one of the worst train crashes in the Netherlands’ recent history.
